Sending E-mail
Now that you’ve seen how to send SMS messages in Android, you might assume thatyou can access similar APIs to send e-mail. Unfortunately, Android does not provideAPIs for you to send e-mail. The general consensus is that users don’t want an
application to start sending e-mail on their behalf. Instead, to send e-mail, you have to
go through the registered e-mail application. For example, you could use ACTION_SEND to
launch the e-mail application:
Intent emailIntent=new Intent(Intent.ACTION_SEND);
String subject = "Hi!";
String body = "hello from android....";
String[] extra = new String[]{"aaa@bbb.com"};
emailIntent.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_EMAIL, extra);
emailIntent.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_SUBJECT, subject);
emailIntent.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_TEXT, body);
emailIntent.setType("message/rfc822");
startActivity(emailIntent);
This code launches the default e-mail application and allows the user to decide whether
to send the e-mail or not. Other “extras” that you can add to an email intent include
EXTRA_CC and EXTRA_BCC.
Now let’s talk about the telephony manager.
